Preserving the Harvest - November 2024

Did you know that one third of all food produced is lost or wasted? Food waste costs Australian households $2,000-$2.500 per year!!

Does your garden produce a bumper crop you would like to preserve? Or would you like to take advantage of cheap seasonal produce? Are you keen at finding new waste to reduce food waste at home?

Join us on Wednesday 6 November 2024 for our “Preserving The Harvest” workshop with Shani from Ecoburbia!

Ecoburbia aims to create more sustainable, connected, and resilient community.

This session will cover tomato and fruit preserving using the water bath method, cheese making, drying produce using the sun, plus pickles, olive preserving, cordial and jam making.

You will also see some samples from the Ecoburbia pantry and leave with a great basic recipe list. Something is sure to inspire you to try some preserving yourself.

We cant wait to support your journey toward preserving and reducing food waste!

Sustainability is a key strategic value for the City of Cockburn.

Our vision is to manage our waste services sustainability and lead and support a community that avoids waste generation, reduces environmental impacts and recognises that waste is a valuable resource to be recovered, reused and recycled.
